Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Hot air and ill-informed banter

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

We still have time to mess this up!

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

“Trump can’t be bought!” said the Trumplodytes. Yeah, but he can be rented — and for a surprising reasonable fee, given the (previous) value of the office he’s currently befouling…

CAN’T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH, REPUBLICANS!

    I’m sure Trump will ask these foreign Muslims for their papers. Green papers bearing dead presidents.

    This is what the voters of western Wisconsin and northern Michigan wanted! A president who’s in touch with the Kuwaiti royal family!

    It is so blatantly obvious that I laughed out loud when I read the story. Can you imagine the heads exploding if Hilz did something like this as President?

    No. Because the effing hypocrites in the House and Senate woulda been chasing after Pres HRC with their zeal about emoluments if she’d retained control over a single B&B, but IOKIYAR.

    I try to remember that congresscritters are human, but the smarmy letter I got from Toomey about his complete confidence in Sessions upholding the law has been testing that… Sessions wants to bring us back to a pre-1850 view of civil rights, with chain gangs and everything (Google private prisons…).

    ETA: Or, what Hal said. :-)

    Trump nor any member of his family should not be allowed within, I’m going to be generous here, 1/2 mile of any income-generating Trump property anywhere in the world for the duration of his presidency. I’m even willing (not happily) to spot him Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, since those are arguably his residences, but no Trump-owned or -labelled hotels, office buildings, apartment complexes, golf courses, retail malls, mixed-use developments, or casinos.

    @SiubhanDuinne: He is going to spend every weekend at Mar-a-Largo unless he is at one of his other properties. The tax payers will be paying Billions in travel expenses for him and his family.

    How is this possible? I thought we were supposed to be afraid of foreigners, and here he is meeting with them in his hotel.

    Also, I thought his company was not going to have overseas businesses so what’s up with this?

    more news from the Delaware special election

    Ryan GrimVerified account‏ @ ryangrim 1h1 hour ago

    Not only did Dems hold the Senate in Delaware today, turnout was roughly double a normal special election. Trump has made nothing normal.

    Read that Trump travel expenses for his first month were roughly equal to what Obama cost in a year.

    There were further developments. See Legum’s update tweets. Kuwait party was this past Wed.

    But Trump IS on the property tonight. See @bennyjohnson tweets.

    Don’t we have a word for people who sell themselves for short time use? Know I’ve heard it before but I can’t quite put my finger on it………
    OTHO It may be that the people who sell themselves for sex are whole lot more honorable that the assclown who sells himself for attention.

    Don’t just thank Republicans, though they own the biggest share of this shit show. Idiot “progressives” who protest voted surely get a piece here.

    When trump buys the farm, no jury in the US is going to be able to convict the citizen that does it.
